Dense and vibrant, this unique painting draws you in with its bold colors and lines. There are unexpected bits of delicacy, too, like the vendedora’s lace collar. Canvas shows some wear on close inspection. Plain wooden frame, 1/2” wide. Signed “Fornes”, dated 1957. $300
An attractive young woman, eyes slightly cast down, gazes into the distance. Whatever she’s thinking about, it’s clearly serious, and not all about how her outfit coordinates nicely with the blue wall behind her. Signed “Jedon”, this painting’s strip frame means it is ready to hang in your living room, and there’s nothing to detract from the lush colors of the painting itself. $165
Rustic wooden frame, good condition.
The bold lines of her hair and dress combined with the plump, rosy cheek and downward glance combine to give the impression of a strong woman who is hearty and hale, and very much alive. The yellows and oranges surrounding her in the background add to this effect, fading into gray-green at the edges. $28.99 SOLD
Oil paint on wood, ornate frame.
Although the robe this woman is wearing is voluminous, she still has a strong seductive power, no? The way she holds her hands and beckons the viewer… she’s demure, for sure, but there’s a lot of power behind her eyes. A wonderful, energizing painting. $72.99 SOLD
Signed lower-left corner “J. Lader”, marbleized gilded frame.
Someone on Maplewood Online pointed out that this girl looks an awful lot like Winona Ryder, which is spot-on. Maybe you’re more Wino Forever than a Winona fan, but you can’t deny this painting is adorable. She’s very pixie-like and is physically incapable of shoplifting. She’s an attention-getter, and she’ll fetch you her fair share of compliments. $79.99 SOLD
Signed “Mary Gallant”, glass plate, narrow wooden frame.
I was a little unsure when I found her, but after cleaning up the glass she was just radiant. The warmth of this painting glows into the room; I love how the green enhances her vivaciousness. Spring-like and very entrancing. $119.99
